I’ve started this post a thousand times, and I just can’t seem to find the right words to begin. So maybe I should start at the beginning. In some ways your pregnancy was the easiest, in other ways it challenged me in different ways I hadn’t experienced before. Unlike with Lydia and William I didn’t […]

I think I may have discovered my least favourite parenting job thus far: potty training. There’s no quick fix and it can be all encompassing, and that’s tough. I wanted to palm it off on someone else, for them to deal with it, but that’s not really how motherhood works is it?! So I was […]

When you are pregnant, I don’t think anyone ever expects there to be a problem: you get the elusive positive pregnancy test and immediately you visualise sleepy newborns, beautiful nurseries and if you’re anything like me, you’ve already mentally test-driven several prams. No one expects, or wants to think about, an alternative scenario. Not least, […]

I’ve almost neglected this little blog over the summer. It’s not been far from my mind but I’ve just been too busy with the children to actually get anything written and up. But I did want to share with you a party we threw for our little girl when she turned five at the end […]

I wanted a way to capture life at this very moment; the days surrounding Lydia’s 5th birthday. So I’ve decided to write little blog entries on the children’s birthdays so that in time I can look back and hopefully be able to re-live these very special moments. Dear Lydia, Our wonderful ‘baby’ girl, you’re turning […]

One of my favourite things to watch/read are monthly favourites so I thought, why not?! I’ll give it a go. I’ve got a real mixture of things that I’ve been loving this month, some beauty, some very much Mummy things. Here they are for June: Senspa Thai Rituals Skin Renewal Body Polish I was gifted […]

I can’t quite believe that I’m here writing a 3 month update. Surely I’m the woman that’s only just had a baby and I’ve got a teeny, tiny, squishy newborn, no?! People still tell me that she’s tiny, and she isn’t one of those babies with those gorgeous rolls of newborn podge, but to me, […]

Last month, our little boy William turned two. The passing of time is such a funny thing: I found myself reflecting upon how quickly the two years had passed and yet at the same time; how I find it hard to remember the time before he was born. I suppose quite a lot has happened […]

I always find starting a blog, or a social media channel a little bit odd. I mean, you’re basically talking to yourself aren’t you?! And yet you’re dreaming of the people who may one day read it. I figured that everyone has to start somewhere, and this is my somewhere. Right here. Right now. So […]
